Protective equipment is normally sold against a standard. For cycle helmets in the UK and\nEurope that is usually EN 1078, and the standard is what turns \"protective\" from a description\ninto a measurement.
\n\nThe listing for this set cites no standard, for the helmet or for the pads. We are not going to\ninvent one. So what this page claims is what the set physically is: a hard shell over foam, and\nhard cups over foam on the joints. If you specifically need a certified helmet, buy one that\nstates its certification, and we would rather say that plainly than sell you this one on a claim\nwe cannot support.
\n\nA helmet that moves is a helmet that is not there when you land. Measure round the head just\nabove the eyebrows and use the number, not the age guide: children's heads vary enormously at the\nsame age.
\n\nSitting level, the rim should be about two fingers above the eyebrows. The side straps should\nform a V under the ears. The chin strap should be tight enough that opening your mouth wide pulls\non the helmet. If you can rock it back off the forehead, it is too loose or too big.
\n\nNearly everyone falls forwards onto their hands. Wrist guards are the least glamorous piece in\nthe box and statistically the busiest, particularly for beginners on skates.
\n\nThey should sit with the splint under the palm and the strap firm without cutting off feeling\nin the fingers.
\n\nPads brush off and carry on. A helmet does not. EPS foam works by crushing, and once it has\ncrushed it stays crushed, so a helmet that has taken a real impact has already done its job even\nif the shell looks perfect. Replace it.
\n\nThe same goes for a helmet that has been dropped hard onto concrete from height, and for one\nthat has spent two summers on a parcel shelf: heat and sunlight degrade the foam and the shell.
\n\nHand wash the pads and let them air dry. Do not machine wash the helmet or leave it near a\nradiator. Straps and buckles are worth a look every few weeks, because a frayed strap is the part\nthat fails silently.
